Throwback to this gorgeous heart blanket I made a month or so back. There will definitely be some more of these beauties coming soon, I’ve got two more shades of pebble haze in my stash to create a couple more blankets! ☺️

I may have placed a rather large yarn order, but it’s only to help me destash I promise. I’ve got lots of blanket makes planned with the right yarn ordered, thank you Chloe Chloe for assisting! 😅

She’s so lucky to also get to share her birthday with me, but we don’t need to discuss that fact. I don’t need to get any older now! 🤣

Happy Birthday Elara! 😘
